[PATCH] perf arm64: Fix mksyscalltbl, don't lose syscalls due to sort -nu

[PATCH] perf arm64: Fix mksyscalltbl, don't lose syscalls due to sort -nu

[Hans-Peter Nilsson]

When using "sort -nu", arm64 syscalls were lost.  That is, the
io_setup syscall (number 0) and all but one (typically
ftruncate; 64) of the syscalls that are defined symbolically
(like "#define __NR_ftruncate __NR3264_ftruncate") at the point
where "sort" is applied.

This creation-of-syscalls.c-scheme is, judging from comments,
copy-pasted from powerpc, and worked there because at the time,
its tools/arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h had *literals*,
like "#define __NR_ftruncate 93".

With sort being numeric and the non-numeric key effectively
evaluating to 0, the sort option "-u" means these "duplicates"
are removed.  There's no need to remove syscall lines with
duplicate numbers for arm64 because there are none, so let's fix
that by just losing the "-u".  Having the table numerically
sorted on syscall-number for the rest of the syscalls looks
nice, so keep the "-n".

Very good catching!  I tested this patch with the commands:

$ cd $LINUX_KERN
$ tools/perf/arch/arm64/entry/syscalls/mksyscalltbl \
        $ARM64_TOOLCHAIN_PATH/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc \
        gcc tools tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h

It gives out complete syscall tables:

$ diff /tmp/mksyscall_before.txt /tmp/mksyscall_after.txt
1a2,4

Rather than dropping option "-u" for sort command, I googled and read
the manual of "sort", but cannot find other better method.  So this
patch looks good for me:

It looks like this patch was never applied?  AFAICS it is still needed
on current HEAD and it still applies cleanly.

Thanks a lot for bringing up this.

Before there have a discussion [1] for refactoring Arm64 system call
table but it didn't really happen. I think it's the right thing to merge
this patch, @Arnaldo, could you pick up this patch?

Thanks,
Leo

I actually worked on this last week and did a new series to convert
the old asm-generic/unistd.h header into the syscall.tbl format,
and change arm64 to use that.

You can find my work in the 'syscall-tbl' branch of my asm-generic
tree [1]. This has only seen light build testing so far, and is
probably still buggy, but most of the work is there. The missing
bits are the Makefiles for the other seven architectures using
asm-generic/unistd.h, and checking the output to ensure the
contents are still the same.

Thanks a lot for sharing the patch set.

I went through the whole patch set, below are several things I observed:

- I did a quick compilation but found building failure, this failure
  is caused by the first patch "arm64: convert unistd_32.h to
  syscall.tbl format", it removes the macro __NR_compat_syscalls.

  In file included from ./include/vdso/const.h:5,

        |                                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
- The patch set breaks git bisection, when I use "git bisect" I can
  find more building failures caused by middle patches.

- The patch "arm64: generate 64-bit syscall.tbl" removes macros:

  __ARCH_WANT_RENAMEAT
  __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT
  __ARCH_WANT_SET_GET_RLIMIT
  __ARCH_WANT_TIME32_SYSCALLS
  __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
  __ARCH_WANT_MEMFD_SECRET

  Seems to me we still need to enable these macros so can enable Arm64
  specific system calls?

- We also need to update the header files:
  tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h

You are welcome to CC me when you send out formal patches to mailing
list and I can test it (and look if can refine perf code for this).

Thanks,
Leo

Sorry about that, I thought I had fixed it already. I'll need to
get back to the series and make sure this works.

Ok, I'll check these out as well.

The system call selection is now controlled with the line

ABIS_unistd64.h := common,64,renameat,newstat,rlimit,mmu,clone3,memfd_secret

which picks the types of ABIs that are enabled when converting
the syscall.tbl file into the headers. Removing these was
intentional, but I now see that we still need to define __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT
and __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 because those two are referenced not
just in unistd.h but also in fs/stat.c and kernel/fork.c.

I'll put this on the list of things to check for the other architectures,
in addition to comparing the resulting syscall table object and the
generated asm/unistd.h.

Ok, thanks again.

So I'm adding the provided:

Reviewed-by: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>
Tested-by: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>

And taking this as an:

ok?
